Gainful Employment Quest

 

preface: 
hie do attest
that poetry may not be best
to express whoosh to chest
 git a lee till bitta chump change
boot an overpowering literary force to pocket earning for a grange(hmm...who knows maybe formerly owned by jessica lange 
thence might be within my financial rangeeven though this har chap decades older than college student - iz that strange?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

lemme this dog gone simian sketch out his general doggerel to free
unleashing a swiftly tale lord harried styled brush stroke of strengths
me retracted claws, which might find me barking up the wrong tree
or find yarself cat  a tonic taking a nap - in the land of doctor ah zee.

akin to a termite expending energy thru wood to bore
search sans income quite an arduous slow book king chorethus, i spruce quest per 
   my non-conformist poetic 
   je ne sais quois x cell lent cover letter de jour
for u 2 access and 4 me to entertain as a minimum less or moreand then...into the circular filing cabinet ye will storethis non-formal reap ply, which email will take an cyberspace tour. pixar could nada pay enough 
   for this trainer of apple chomping antz 
so i wonder if any chance whisker of employment 
vis a vis thru this contrived virtual toy story 

   qua ratatouille poetic brew 
could materialize opening the virtual community chest 
   into a likely monopoly winning chance 
such an idea generates me to shrek out with excitement n contra dance 
just in case a glimmer of some prospect exists 
for this self anointed bard and one who dislikes formalityof zee mainline now presents a brief poo whet tick summation
   sans technical skills which he hopes to enhance 
p'raps e'en earn enough moolah
   to sight see the arc d'triumph, louvre, paris france 
i offer the following poetic expression for ye to take a glance 

and mebbe help this intuitive homo sapiens   per his income to expand and en-hance 
which byte size bit torrent humor without use of strong arm, nor lance
   might cause ye to soil your pants 
after misinterpreting this mishmash as some rave and rants 
per even a part time need exists 
   please let me so of some positive stance 
with a subtle intent to place me as worth hiring, 
to sway some au currant series electronic charge 
and ideally affect hypnotic trance.
 i betcha never red a poe sting like this faux 
   iambic pentameter electronic wire 
from a boyish looking blood muggle father although up in years 
(whose nonpareil courage to face voldemort never does tire) 
and two teenage girls would consider him a worthy hire 
less so to rake in gobs of moolah,
   but to satiate this nearly unquenchable hunger games and thirst 
for further (ahem) bits of computer know how to acquire.
 although this cover letter of sorts conveys teensy weensy, itty bitty 
byte size actual work experience 
(per this older mister mom who lives west of the philadelphia city) 
nonetheless, i hanker (NOT to be confused with HACKER) 
to employ my computer skills, plus bits of moxie 
playing at the nearby roxy 

burrow, which prompts the following ditty 
to express interest to apply manual
   and mental tasks ala computer trouble shooting 
some may ascribe as nitty gritty 
on a par with the secret life of one walter mitty 
whom destiny protected and took pity 
merely meant to be silly 
yet also an attempt to be witty.
 yes no matter how many miles by car 
(actually your company might be 
   within dead man walking distance) 
this opportunity would not be considered to far 
to use my acumen and interest and technologically spar 
using graphical user interface programs
   to get unstuck from virtual feathery tar. iambic pentameter might be a faux pas
and not the traditional standard genre for a cover letter 
i see no reason with rhyme why 
   my own non-conformist modus operandi 
cannot serve as me own mode to communicate pursuit 
as a computer repair technician n paperback writer wannabe 
   cuz i love each english language letter
which honest to goodness confession 
hopefully affects against other respondents at least a bit better.
 this pure breed mud half blood muggle prince 
born (whom most think me full o hogwash 
   to git rid of hog wort) - yea 
truth seeker for employment 
does reckon that the following poetic way 
not necessarily follows the formalities 
   to reply as most would readily say 
yet why adhere to conformity, which paradigm frowns on creativity 
which atypical modus operandi 
   to reply a positive reply and job i pray 
even if the outcome per offering my interest turns out to be nay 
perhaps because where mien hometown 
   west of philadelphia lay.
 no employment vitae, since that may show a dearth 
yet decided to resort to verse to induce a byte size mirth 
of requisite (sought after) technical expertise,
   i do possess the attributes fit for a coach well worth consideration -- so if you might just allow me to boast 
and blithely use iambic pentameter to coast 
maybe even given the opportunity to eradicate
   re: exorcise any binary electronic bookworm 
   or even casper the friendly ghost 
n offer bytes of helpful information from this pc host 
per the computer position i saw on the a fence post 
with sought after salary goal fair n equitably per year 
that would necessitate for me a teetotaler toast
 so...without further ado i will slightly brag 
to tell of an ability to conduct understand bit size crag
n reckon obsolete intricacies such as dos 
    hardly requisite material, i learned to manage 
   common system utilities such as scan disk and defrag 
installed and resolved dsl issues,

    performed scan-disk and troubleshooting glitches 
such as removal of dos files, installation 
   and/or removal of hardware 
likewise uninstalling software, running registry sweeps 
in an attempt to remove bugs and errors
   that cause this machine to cough and gag 
which invariably causes such processes
   as downloading, sending, uploading, et cetera to lag
and if chance smiles on further consideration --
   like a happy go lucky dog this tail will wag oh...and by the way i would accept a starting 
and/or negotiable salary as a starting wage 
in an effort to support this self proclaimed sage 
whose role can double up as a court jester, 
   batman joker, or jimmy john page 
hopeful this poetic synopsis offers a favorable gauge 
and in tandem enriching my fount of knowledge
   more valuable at this advanced age. y'all er one fur all might think this reply balderdash and rot 
which may matter bo diddly squat 
no matter i herald from royalty
   with salient strengths as being a prestigious scott 
butta matthew harris 
   does not smoke booze nor drink from a pot 
and a student he is not 
nor a gentleman quarterly kennedyesque fellow
   who would be called really hot 
yet moxie by proxy this poet of bryn, mawr - 
   pennsylvania doth got 
and might elicit salient characteristics 
   similar to a humanoid heterosexual bot 
and, oh by the way, i lived in lower merion 
   for some years that = quite alot.
 from - a generic johnny come lately jim crow chee 
can tackle the junkyard dawg, 
   while trump petting, swaggering, 
   and rollicking with rod ham pomp ass city but

who whiz house trained and can use tail to play putt putt 
plus often extricate moss elf from a tread full rut.

this sub woofer snapper of a papa pooch, 
though scrawny and essentially a generic mixed breed
   who bowled with jeff and mutt 
an older dog gone college alumni of hard knocks
   plus relied on powder milk dog biscuits 
   to hone courage to overcome shyness 
   (predominant among norwegian bachelor farmers)
by a diet of powder milk biscuits,
   though they weighed heavy in my gut 
thus i conclude with faux pas in the air hoping 
   this passes windy muster and makes the cut.
